My son came to me a few weeks ago and asked me for a very specific gift for a very special person. He had noticed that this very special person carried a wristlet with her everywhere she went, and he wanted to buy her a new one because, "Hers is looking a little rough."

--- I love that he pays attention to details. ---

He gave me several specifics and money to cover the costs of all the supplies and a new pattern.

We were Hunger Games ready last night as the popcorn was popping and screens were being prepped. There was a major feeling of excitement in the air.

Our oldest two are theatre managers so they did not get to watch the movie with us but the owner was kind enough to give free passes to our youngest two and myself to see Hunger Games at the sold out opening screening!!!! We were so thankful and SO EXCITED!

Christianna and I worked on her Katniss braid until it was nearly perfect for game day. She was thrilled when a few girls at the theatre got all excited and exclaimed, "Look, she's Katniss" as she walked by. Then later the same girls said, " See, there she is. She looks just like Katniss."

Mission Accomplished!

I will not give away any secrets except to say that Catching Fire was quite a bit more intense than I thought it would be.
